Hayes: Eagles will be slow and steady in grooming Wentz as their QB

THIS WILL TAKE some getting used to.

For three years, things couldn't happen quickly enough for the Eagles. They hired fast-talking Chip Kelly, who installed his Machine Gun offense and enacted a slash-and-burn roster reorganization. Kelly got instant production from Michael Vick, Nick Foles, Sam Bradford and even Mark Sanchez.

Now, it's all about patience and growth. Yes, the Eagles signed Sam Bradford and Chase Daniel to pricey, short-term contracts, and no, they didn't cut aging left tackle Jason Peters, so they have at least one eye on short-term success.

Still, the Eagles twice traded up in the draft to select Carson Wentz with the second overall pick last month.
